Best shoes for group classes Zumba, kick-boxing, kettle bells, or spinning? These types of group gym classes require "a good cross trainer that has a multi-purpose outsole, with a durable and breathable upper, as well as a low-profile midsole," says Turner. She suggests the Asics Gel-Ipera. In addition to fun colors (hello, neon!), she says these shoes are "super lightweight and stable, with just the right amount of cushioning to provide shock absorption no matter what type of activity your class has in store."
Interesting! Because I have hammer toes and bunions, I must wear SAS shoes for ANY long-distance walking, including the supermarket. Shoes do make a huge difference.
These are helpful! I'll just have to figure out what kind of workout I do the most. Buying several pairs of workout shoes at once just isn't very practical.
Thanks for the tip! I'm always on the lookout for the next great walking shoe as I tend to burn through them quickly, and I had not heard of Orthaheel before.
